Viscri. The Lutheran fortified church. The Saxons built a Romanesque church in the 13th century and the church was fortified around 1500. In the 12th century, fortifications began to be built forming an oval. The south, east and northeast walls have survived and are 7 m in height. In 1999, Viscri, together with five other places, was added to the villages with fortified churches in Transylvania UNESCO World Heritage Site.
